Elaine Perrin Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Partly inspired by the song “where do I begin”  from the film Love Story.

Help Me Please

Where do I begin
To ask the question
And do I divulge my sin
Reveal obsession
Please I need your wise advice
I’m walking on thin ice
What if I pay the price

Will I regret this choice
Do I roll the dice
Trust my inner voice
Play this lottery 
blank uncertainty
Of possibility
Drowning in the sea

My heart is beating faster
Do I just take the leap
Like ripping off a plaster
Unveiled my destiny
Will that evoke disaster
Will I be sorry after
Should I leave it to the master

It’s time to cease this game
Roulettes the devils work
On me I lay the blame
I’m overwhelmed with fear
Overcome with shame 
I feel my pulsing veins
Ready set take aim

I take it in my hand
You see me trembling
What if I find it’s bland 
This is my reckoning 
And as I begin to bite
My heart fills with delight
Someone’s listened to my plight

It was a coffee one
And not a toffee one
Delicious bliss
Chocolatey kiss
Slowly oozing 
So wickedly soothing
What a close call
I thank you all
